Guys, it’s not even April yet and Winnipeg is having a rough year. Out of 7 homicides, 3 are victims of domestic violence. The latest death occurred last weekend in the form of a murder suicide. The couple was new to Canada. She was 28 years old. Their 3 year old daughter was there and...

When I wrote last week about a California man whose wife cut his penis off, we got an avalanche of response from the interwebz, especially thanks to linkage from some men’s interest blogs and a few MRA dudes. I was called a “hypocrite,” “scum”, and a “dick-hating bitch”...
